I think what anon means is that the movie wasn't made to promote the ideology of the people who now use that language. If the concept of "taking the red pill" had never existed, the people who call themselves "red pill" and "black pill" would still exist with all their hateful beliefs, they'd just call themselves something else. We know this because they already call themselves tons of other things, such as incels, MGTOW, MRAs, PUAs, alt-right, alt-lite, and on and on. The movie didn't create the belief system, they just took a term from it because it was a popular movie and they think the concept tracks.

They borrow terms from a lot of things, because they're not very creative. NPCs are a thing in video games. Their use of the term is just plain old solipsism with a veneer of pop culture applied. But that doesn't make video games bad or wrong, just as the Matrix isn't to blame for Red Pill jackasses.
